Don Julio - Buenos Aires Restaurant Review
Wednesday, November 29th, 2006 late in the morning while chugging coffee by Jackson
Located on the corner of Gurrachaga and Guatemala in the Palermo neighborhood, I have to admit that this was my favorite restaurant while in Buenos Aires. Granted there are probably other restaurants out there that I didn't venture to that are a lot better but from our exploration of the neighborhood I greatly enjoyed Don Julio.
We ate there several times as the food and service was always consistently good. I ate a lot of empanadas in Buenos Aires and Don Julio had my favorite. I also always started my meal with a chorizo (pork sausage) to go with either my Bife de Lomo (tenderloin) or Bife de Chorizo (sirloin). The meat was always cooked perfectly with just the right amount of red in the middle. Also, their chimichurri was a perfect compliment too. Obviously I'd go back since I did several times during the 2 weeks we were in Buenos Aires.
Head to Don Julio to get your hands on quite possibly one one of the best empanadas in the city! I shit you not! The meet just flowed out once you take the first bite. Truly heaven, I tell you!
